Biodanza Tribal Gathering

We almost didn’t include the Biodanza Tribal Gathering. It sounded groovy and then we saw the price of 340 euros for the week which, though it includes food, doesn’t sound too tribal, really.

But for those passionate about biodanza it might be a good deal. Certainly biodanzers (?) are often effusive in their love for the dance as can be seen in the description below. We hope the use of capital letters on nouns like Music and Exercises isn’t indicative of a cult..

The organisers say:

‘Biodanza, which means Dance of Life, is a system that integrates music, movement and authentic interactions to provide experiences of intense perception of being alive in the here-and-now. These experiences are known as “vivencias”, coined from the Spanish root: vivir (to live).

Vivencias are doors to access primal emotions and help movement emerge that is the most natural expression of your true self. Vivencias follow the organic movements of life—its biological rhythms, the pulse of the heart, and the impulse to connect with others.

Biodanza is a system of Music and Exercises scientifically studied and put together with the aim of regaining joy, vitality and the pleasure of living and of preventing physical and psychological disorder.’
